2018 Love Guide for Taurus

Key Dates

Taurus

Major Love Trends-August 2017 to August 2018:

Saturn has been transiting a house in your solar chart that influences an existing partnership for those of you who are coupled. The resources of a relationship are in focus, and shared money may be an issue. It’s also about intimacy and sexual sharing, which might now be scrutinized. For those people not currently partnered, there can be changing feelings regarding intimacy nevertheless. This transit lasts until December 2017, so it’s not in effect for much longer.

Self-awareness is strong with Saturn in your solar eighth house (from 2015 – December 2017). The tendency to nurse a fantasy about a partner, yourself, or a relationship is lessened, which on one hand can bring up too much seriousness or possibly even a bit of bitterness in some, but on the other, it means you’re accepting people and yourself for who you are, and this is important for any serious partnership. There is less of an inclination to play or put up with emotional games. During this cycle, you have a chance to truly explore fears of rejection and power issues. There can be challenges with a partner over money and the sharing of chores or responsibilities – who does what, who doesn’t do what, who contributes more or who contributes less, etc. Certainly, the less flattering side of a relationship may show itself now.

Typically with Saturn transits, in the process of stripping away delusions and getting to a more realistic position, initially we can go to an unrealistically negative place. This is one of the reasons why Saturn transits are considered difficult, yet the rewards are significant once we find that balance – a place of truth.

Saturn moves out of your intimacy sector in mid-December 2017 and moves into harmony with your sign. This is a huge relief for relationships and for your attitude towards intimacy, in general.

And, with Jupiter’s move into your partnership sector starting on October 10th, 2017, you’re beginning a powerful, beneficial, supportive period for one-to-one relationships. These are the relationships that are defined by a commitment or in which one is implied. Jupiter’s transit of your partnership lasts until November 2018, and is wonderful for a fresh start with a person (or persons). This may be a business partnership or special friend, but for many, it’s a love relationship.

Close relationships are big headlines for you this year and next. This is about seeking out and finding joy in your closest relationships and getting in deeper touch with your needs from others. People help you during this period. You may be less independent than usual, but this is can be a wonderful thing, as you are opening up to others’ involvement in your life.

While Jupiter blesses your relationships and commitments, it forms fabulous aspects with Pluto and Neptune. This can mean attracting or enhancing a partnership through travel, higher education, shared beliefs, friendships, group associations, and community involvement.

Because Mercury rules your romance sector, its retrograde periods can sometimes point to a slowdown or period of review for romantic relationships. In 2017, Mercury is retrograde December 19th, 2016, to January 8th, 2017, April 9th to May 3rd, 2017, partially in your sign, from August 12th to September 5th, 2017 (in your romance sector!), and then from December 3-22 (in your intimacy sector). In 2018, Mercury is retrograde from March 22-April 15, from July 26-August 19, and then November 16-December 6 (in your intimacy and partnership sectors!).

The August 12-September 5 period occurs in your romance sector, and this can be the most significant retrograde cycle for you in terms of relationships and love. It’s a time for looking back before moving ahead. Allow your heart to catch up to your mind.

Pluto as your partnership sector ruler forms its last square to Jupiter in August 2017, and this can point to a resolution or dissipation of challenges or conflicts with partners involving in-laws, work, education, or travel.

Pluto also forms a lovely aspect to Jupiter as a guest in your partnership sector, from January to September 2018. This is powerful! Even if its effects are subtle, you’ll appreciate the cohesion and compatibility you feel with a partner on the very matters you may have argued about in the past — belief systems, how adventurous you are, travel, education, and in-laws. This can also point to Taureans meeting a partner through travel, publishing, schooling, and shared interests, perhaps in a foreign setting or making a long-distance relationship work.

Key Periods from August 2017 to August 2018:

2017:

Eros in your romance sector from July 6-August 13, 2017 is a hungry time for love – you’re in a desirous and desirable period now.

Mercury has an extended stay in your romance sector – from July 25 to August 31 and then September 10-29, 3017. Part of this time, Mercury is retrograde – from August 12th to September 5th – and this can involve some review of a romantic relationship. Because Mercury is your romance sector ruler, this may point to a lover who is reconsidering or simply requiring a little more time to sort out their feelings. For some, the past is holding appeal – you may be looking to the past before moving forward.

The August 12-September 5 Mercury retrograde period occurs in your romance sector, and this can be the most significant retrograde cycle for you in terms of relationships and love. It’s a time for looking back before moving ahead. Allow your heart to catch up to your mind.

Mars transits your romance sector from September 5-October 22 and there can be sparks flying in a romance, sometimes challenging, but certainly more exciting than usual. Look to October 4-5 for a super opportunity period to combine assertive and attractive.

While Venus transits your romance sector from September 19-October 13, 2017, your charm is easy and natural. It’s a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it. You may want to give love your all now – this Venus transit begins at the time of a New Moon in your romance sector and occurs concurrently with Mars and Mercury in the same sector. You are likely to have a lot of fun, and your charm is powerful. Mars spends some of its time in this same sector (until October 22nd), boosting excitement, appeal, and activity along romantic lines. Note that the romance sector is more about play than commitment. Venus and Mars align here on October 4-5 — a classic aspect for romantic and sexual excitement, and it’s occurring in your sector of fun, dating, and romance.

Jupiter enters your partnership sector on October 10th. This is a thirteen-month transit that’s superb for partnering up.

Mercury is in your partnership sector from October 17-November 5, 2017. Talk is sweet right now, and you’re going to be doing a lot of it. You are inclined to weigh decisions more carefully, and perhaps enjoy the process, particularly if it’s with someone special. Intelligent or talkative people enter your life now.

November is a particularly significant month for relationships. The Full Moon in your sign on the 4th pulls up strong feelings and the New Moon on the 18th occurs in your partnership sector and happens shortly after Jupiter and Venus meet in the same sector. This is a time for new beginnings.

Venus is in your partnership sector from November 7-30, 2017. This acts to soften your disposition, helping to enhance a partnership or smooth over differences in same, and it may bring helpful, warm, and loving people into your experience.

November and December are strong for securing a relationship and devoting more concentrated time and energy to making a connection work.

Mars is in your partnership sector from December 9, 2017, to January 25, 2018. This can b a time of fireworks in a partnership. You may not always feel that the ball is in your court during this period.

2018:

Mars in your intimacy sector from January 25-March 17, 2018 can act to really fire up your passions and intimate world. There may be some adjustments to make now – problems in committed relationships revolving around sex and money can be aired now. Conflicts need to be faced head-on with Mars here.

Romantic revelations and epiphanies can occur around the Full Moon on March 1, 2018.

Venus then moves into your sign on March 31st, when you can experience a fresh start. From March 31-April 24, 2018, Venus is in your sign. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking–or at least appreciating–your “love language”. It’s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come to you without the need for your pursuing it.

When Mercury (your solar chart’s romance ruler) is in your sign, romance tends to pursue you! This occurs from May 13-29, 2018.

While Venus transits your romance sector from July 10 to August 6, 2018, your charm is easy and natural. It’s a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it. This is augmented around July 21-22 when Venus in your romance sector harmonizes with Jupiter in your partnership sector. This comes at a time when Eros in your sign boosts your magnetic appeal.

A strong need for harmony, affection, approval or belongingness colors your attitude and decisions now. Overall this is likely to bring ease and engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could work against you. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over differences, all is likely to turn out well. At the very least, you’ll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don’t interfere, love will reign!

Your mood and attitude is conciliatory, and your need for love and approval heightened.

You beautify your surroundings and pay particular attention to your appearance. This is a good time to treat yourself or do something fun just for you.

Jun 13, 2018 5 PM (Jun 13, 2018 to Jun 14, 2018) Ven Sqr Asc

Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over differences, all is likely to turn out well.

Relationships begun now are: emotionally charged, domestic, potentially long-lasting, somewhat private–they run deep. The relationship is likely to be sentimental, and perhaps somewhat insular. A romance begun now might be characterized by sensitivity, concern, and care on the positive side, but it could also be a moody, clinging one. If you are looking for a romance that might lead to marriage and family, this is a favorable time. Enhancing love now: Enjoying domestic activities together, nesting, spending quiet time together, expressing nurturing and protective traits towards a lover.

Jul 9, 2018 10 PM (Jul 9, 2018 to Jul 10, 2018) Ven Trine Asc

Relaxation, enjoyment, and pleasure are emphasized now. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time. A pleasant, affectionate, relaxed, or courteous attitude eases your interactions now, and may open doors or help lighten troubled situations that you’ve been working with lately. You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive impression at the moment. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now. You’re in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience. Bottom line: A very easygoing and easy energy is with you now.

You are disinclined to stir up trouble or cause unpleasantness of any kind at the moment. Relationships are thus apt to be smooth, but this may well come at a cost to you. You may be at peace with others and at war with yourself; you may go along with something now that you will kick yourself for later. Choose your company carefully. Spending time with those you truly trust and enjoy should be no problem, however. A strong need for harmony, affection, approval or belongingness colors your attitude and decisions now. Overall this is likely to bring ease and engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could work against you. At the very least, you’ll learn something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your differences may be appealing. As long as egos don’t interfere, love will reign! Bottom Line: Some awkwardness when it comes to romantic expression; feeling misunderstood. Not an ideal time to make your move.

Venus 6th House: Where: At or through work, the gym, health food store or association, medical appointments. How: By expressing and emphasizing your dedication, practicality, work ethic.

Enhancing love now: Sharing, or taking interest in, daily routines and activities, performing services or little chores for a lover.

Sep 9, 2018 5 AM (Sep 9, 2018 to Sep 10, 2018) Ven Oppos Asc

Expressing a harmonious, cooperative, and pleasing manner.

Enhancing love now: This is perhaps the most favorable time of the year to enhance an existing relationship. Expressing open-hearted interest in a lover, listening to a lover’s side to the “story”, compromising.

MARCH 19

The Moon continues its transit of Aries for most of today, until 9:07 PM EDT. Mercury aligns with Venus in Aries, and we might enjoy good humor, lighthearted conversations, sociability, and cooperation. It’s a good time to talk about or quantify our feelings and reach agreements or negotiate with others. Mentally, we’re not as disciplined as usual, as we prefer to chat with others and to think about more “pleasant” things than work. Mercury will retrograde in just three days, however, and we may later need to revisit and perhaps revise what we may communicate or decide upon today. The Moon moves into Taurus tonight, and shortly after that, harmonizes with Mars. We’re resourceful and motivated, particularly related to business, financial, mechanical, practical, and security or comfort matters.

The Moon is void from 3:29 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Uranus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 9:07 PM EDT.

MARCH 20

The Moon spends the day in Taurus, harmonizing with Saturn and encouraging a practical approach to our day. Even so, the Sun enters pioneering Aries today at 12:16 PM EDT, marking the time of the Spring equinox and the start of the astrological New Year. The Sun will transit Aries until April 19th. In Aries, the Sun is enthusiastic and spontaneous. We are motivated by the desire to conquer. We are impulsive, and we have the urge to initiate. Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly–there is little pause for regret with Aries. It is brave and pioneering, and somewhat innocent. We are direct and rather uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted and lack the desire to plan.

Venus enters Taurus

Venus is in Taurus from March 31-April 24. In Taurus, Venus is very sensual (naturally), content, and possessive. We seek security and value that which lasts. Our appetite for pleasure is strong. Taurus values the here and the now as well as the world of the five senses. Tangible and physical expressions of love and romance are most important now. Holding on to someone we love is our tendency under Venus in Taurus. The shadow side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners as objects that we own or want to own. On the financial side, Venus in Taurus looks for high-quality, solid, practical, and long-lasting items. Holding on to our possessions is more likely now.

This transit generally favors business, the law, and commerce. We might enjoy increased influence, faith, and insight now. The desire for more personal significance can lead us to give of ourselves or motivate us to more ambitiously pursue personal or professional goals. The ability to sway or persuade can be enhanced now. One of the most positive uses of this transit is taking steps to better ourselves or to improve conditions. We might solve a problem that has been in existence for some time, or capitalize upon a resource that we overlooked in the past.
